【Abstract】 Objective To review the recent progress of hi p resurfacing arthroplasty. Methods Literature
concerning hip resurfacing arthroplasty and current achievements was extensively and comprehensively reviewed. Results The new metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty made much progress especially in materials and technology, and the results were satisfactory for short-term follow-up. This was increasingly widely used especially in treating young patients. But there were still some problems such as elevation of metal ions which had already aroused publ ic attention. Conclusion The new metal-onmetal hip resurfacing arthroplasty is an efficient method in the treatment of adult hip joint disease and has an encouraging future, but long-term follow-up is still needed.
